The problem

New Flyer Industries Ltd. (New Flyer) is recalling certain model year 2013 C40LFR, XE40, XN35, and XN60, 2014 XD35, XDE40, and XT60, 2014-2015 XD60, and XT40, 2013-2014 XDE35, and XN40, and 2015 XDE60 transit buses. These vehicles have door controller assemblies that may have a software defect which can cause the rear passenger doors to open, without warning, when the bus accelerates from a stopped position.

The risk

If the rear bus door opens while the bus is in motion, there is an increased risk of injury for the passengers.

The fix

New Flyer will notify owners, and dealers will update the Door Controller Assembly software, free of charge. The recall began on June 24, 2015. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706. New Flyer's number for this recall is R15-006.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
